Good Day of Training

Started the day with some sauna and cold tub down at our Norman location.  I did this workout with the noon HYROX class than did some upper body bodybuilding with Taylor

 I did today's HYROX workout with the new class at noon.  Needed this good flush. 

My Next Big Goal

 I have always wanted to do the Hardrock 100 which goes from Silverton through Lake City through Ouray and Telluride and ends back at Silverton, but it is an extremely hard race to get into. So I have decided to use my backpacking/fastpacking/ultrarunning skills and just do it on my own in the summer of 2026.  There are a lot of race videos and race reports for me to study and I have given myself over a year to achieve this goal.  I will use races to prepare me for my adventures instead of my adventures to prepare for races. I will do more self-supported fastpacking trips to prepare for this, so I won’t do as many actual races in the next year preparing for this.  I have felt like I had won the lottery and am very excited to start training for this big undertaking.  I will set a date in July of 2026 put it on my calendar and start getting ready for it.  I will bring my tent and sleep at night so I won’t have to worry about going through the night like a regular 100 mile race.  

I am going to keep track of my training for something like this in the blog.  We will see if I can get prepared for a lot of climbing and altitude in Oklahoma. This race has over 33,000 feet of elevation gain and goes over 14,000 feet on one mountain.  Which is fun because I have never done a 14er!!
